From: Development of the gut microbiota during early life in premature and term infants
CCA showing separation of samples based on OTUs. Faecal samples taken at 6Â weeks of age from premature infants are distinguished from term infants by higher abundances of Staphylococcus, Enterococcus and Enterobacteriaceae species. The microbiota of term infants feature greater abundance of Clostridium and Bifidobacterium species. By 2Â years of age, the communities of both cohorts converge, with domination by genera such as Faecalibacterium, Blautia and Bacteroides
